Meet the Thompsons

Hello world! 

In case you've stumbled on this from the wider worldwide web (and are not our family friends) let me introduce our little travelling family. We're a family of four from just outside Sheffield, UK - Mum (Julia), Dad (Steve) and our two boys, Griffin (9) and Angus (7). After 10+ years of saving we finally took the plunge in October 2023 and set off on our year of adventure. I'm writing this from Playa del Carmen in Mexico, our first stop. Our planned itinerary takes us further in to Mexico and then down to Costa Rica and over to South East Asia in January 2024 (after a pitstop at home for Christmas so that Santa can find us!).

I gleaned loads of helpful info from other family travel blogs when planning our mega trip, so am hoping that this blog will allow us to share our adventure with anyone interested in what we're getting up to, but also maybe be at least a teensy bit helpful for anyone else planning some form of travel madness with children :)

Two nights at Rafiki Safari Lodge

Image
This place was more than just accommodation and definitely deserves a blog post to itself! There is a whole page in the Lonely Planet dedicated to Rafiki Safari Lodge , and from the first time I read it I knew this was something I wanted us to splurge on during our stay in Costa Rica. My Mum was also totally on-board with this plan, so we booked two nights here (which was as much as we could afford to be honest!). This really was a complete treat on our itinerary at £290 per night - a huge £170 a night more than the next most expensive spot on our Costa Rica trip. NB this was for two safari tents, as we were a group of five, so probably a bit less for a family of four as you would all fit in one tent! And boy was it worth it. Rafiki organised a private shuttle for us from Manuel Antonio (US$95 for the five of us), which took around an hour in total - most of it on an incredibly uneven, unpaved road that made be VERY glad that we hadn't opted to drive it (more on driving in Costa Ri...

5 days in Mexico City

Image
Mexico City (or CDMX to the locals) has a reputation as a slightly crazy place, so it was a bit daunting planning a trip with the boys. One thing we've discovered so far in our few weeks of travel is that the boys (and us!) really need downtime every few days to just chill out. Being on the go constantly is hard work (even as an adult), and there is so much to take in when you're travelling to new places all the time that I think it can get a bit overwhelming at times. So spending a few days in a notoriously crazy busy city might not seem like the most obvious way to chill out, but we definitely needed a few days where we did a bit less. I was really relieved when we checked in to our Airbnb in CDMX and discovered that it was a) lovely and big, b) had a fab roof terrace space and c) was pitch black at night and REALLY quiet (despite being right in the centre). The apartment turned out to be really good value for CDMX at £60 a night - it was easy to walk to most of the museums a...

Manuel Antonio National Park

Image
This was our first stop on our Costa Rica adventure, after picking Granny up from the airport and spending one night in San Jose recovering from the travel. I'd gone for Manuel Antonio as I'd read that it was packed full of wildlife and glorious beaches, but also very accessible and easy to hike around for kids (and Grannies in their 70s!). Getting from San Jose to Manual Antonio The bus from San Jose took around 3hours (after I'd finally managed to figure out which bus company/bus station in San Jose ran buses to Manuel Antonio - there's no 'central' bus service in Costa Rica, just a series of smaller companies that all operate different routes. I used the guide on the Visit Costa Rica website here to figure out which route/company we needed. The bus tickets cost £42.97 in total (this was for 5 of us now we have a Granny in tow!). Where we stayed We stayed on the road between Quepos and Manuel Antonio village, at Pura Natura Lodge. There's loads of accommo...
